The debate over US war powers has reignited.

A critical legal debate has emerged following Donald Trump's military actions against Iran.

According to the War Powers Resolution, which limits the US president's war powers, military operations conducted without congressional approval cannot exceed 60 days.

The process allegedly unfolded as follows:

Attack on Iran was launched at the end of February.

Formal notification was given to Congress at the beginning of March.

The 60-day period expired on May 1st.

During this period, no result was obtained from the votes in Congress, and no formal authorization was granted.

However, the Trump administration, in a letter, argued that the period was no longer valid, stating that "active hostilities had ended."

The critical consequence of this interpretation could be:

➡️ It is claimed that if hostilities "resume," the 60-day period could start from scratch.

If this approach is accepted, it could pave the way for the president to conduct military operations for longer periods without congressional approval.

The issue is not just about Iran. At the heart of the debate is this question:

Is the decision to go to war in the US truly under the control of Congress or the president?

While some Republicans and Democrats argue that this may be illegal, civil society organizations say the process should be closely monitored.

These developments could be an important test of the separation of powers in the US.
